A “leak” at a UK online retailer’s site reveals a whole bunch of info on TomTom’s Go 940 Live GPS system: it looks like the system comes with a GPRS unit to give it live traffic and fuel-price info and the ability to Google search. Yep, alongside the IQ routing and intelligent lane advice that the Go 930 and the new Pro units have is a TomTom HD Traffic unit using GPRS to garner local traffic info, weather conditions, and lets you Google for whatever info you might need on the road. That traffic info is gathered “via anonymous cellphone monitoring,” but whether its these units that do the uploading, or a different system, is unclear. The unit’s available on pre-order in the UK for around $800, with the Live service likely to cost $10-$15 per month, but there’s no data on when it’ll hit the US.
